Sword of the Spirit Group Craft

This is the craft we had planned for the older kids back when we did our Sword of the Spirit lesson. They ran out of time and never got around to making it, so I finally did it myself. I really wanted to see how it would turn out because I thought the idea was very cool.

My husband drew the outline of a sword on foam board, working with some of the edges that were already there.

This is what it looked like once it was cut out. Sort of cartoon-ish.

The next step was to lay the sword on top of some card stock and trace around the sword edges. Then I cut out the card shapes, wrote Bible verses on them with Sharpie, and taped them to the sword with packing tape. I really like the finished product!
